Thanks for visiting our website, let me tell you a bit about myself.  I grew up in Concord, North Carolina, just a stone’s throw from the Charlotte Motor Speedway.  After graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (go Heels!), I took a year off my studies to serve a year with Habitat for Humanity Americorps in Columbia, South Carolina.  From there it was the University of Louisville School of Dentistry, where I met my wife Dr Kris (the first day!). 

After graduation, Kristine and I felt a strong calling to serve, as well as expand our clinical experience.  The Navajo Indian Reservation was the perfect fit.  There we developed a real passion for public health, as well as gained experience in all aspects of dentistry.  When it came time to settle down and start a family, New Hampshire seemed the perfect place.  We love the outdoor pursuits and small town feel this area offers.

So why entrust your dental needs with me? I truly have your best interests in mind. I strive to treat each of my patients as if they were a member of my family, and I do not take the trust you have put in me lightly. I also look to implement the latest technology, while also relying on sound principles that have served our profession well for many years.

I am a member of numerous professional organizations, including the American Dental Association, the New Hampshire Dental Society, and the Academy of General Dentistry. I have served as a trustee on the board of the New Hampshire Dental Society Foundation, the charitable arm of the NHDS. Outside of the dental world, I am an active member of the Gilford Community Church and I also enjoy coaching youth soccer (my favorite sport) for Lakes Region United soccer club.

​Thanks for your interest in our practice. I look forward to seeing you soon!

We have been with Winnisquam Dental since 2004 and have been very pleased with the practice. We have always been warmly welcomed in a clean environment. We’ve seen many of the dental hygienists and have recommended them to others. We’ve had great experiences with both Dr. Kris and Dr. Blackwelder, they have worked together with us to come up with treatment plans. Communication has been top notch!

From the minute we walked in the door it was a warm and welcoming visit. We started our appt on time, and Kris came out and introduced herself to both myself and my son. I’ve never seen that in my many visits to a dentist! She was very kind and thorough with any thing she discussed or even did during my sons exam. He was a little timid about going but she had him laughing the whole time! We are lucky to have found such a comfortable environment!

The folks at Winnisquam Dental are so friendly, professional, and dedicated to what they do! Kate has been cleaning our teeth for years & we just adore her! Both of the Dr.'s have taken care of all of us at one time or another, and they are always wonderful, keeping the experience as pain free & speedy as possible. Mike, at the front desk, is so helpful & kind, and always has a smile on his face! We are lifetime patients for sure!
